The route

Same road, ten minutes apart.

01

Leave Siem Reap

Head north on the Banteay Srei road — the same route most Angkor day-trippers already take.

02

Cambodia Landmine Museum

About 25 km / 30 minutes in, right on the road. Spend 45–60 minutes with Aki Ra's story and the museum's collection.

03

Banteay Srei

Continue 10 more minutes to the temple — famed for its pink sandstone and the finest carving in the Angkor complex.

Why pair them

Two very different stories, one afternoon.

Banteay Srei shows Cambodia at its artistic height — a 10th-century temple carved with a precision rarely matched anywhere in the Angkor complex. The Landmine Museum, just down the road, shows what came after: decades of war, and one man's decision to spend his life undoing its damage.

Seeing both in the same trip gives a fuller picture of Cambodia than either alone — and it costs you no extra travel time, since they're on the same road.
